Pinkerton Academy now advances to the semifinals of Granite State Challenge.

The popular quiz contest began the season with 16 Granite State high school teams battling for the coveted SuperChallenge title and brainy bragging rights.

It takes a winning combination of knowledge, teamwork, grace under pressure, and a quick buzzer reflex to play. The show brings New Hampshire's top high school academic teams head to head in lively competition. The game emphasizes quick recall of material in all major disciplines - math, science, social studies, language and fine arts - along with a mix of questions about current events, entertainment, sports, and regional topics.

The winner of the Granite State SuperChallenge receives $1,000, a trophy and a champion banner for their school; the runner-up school receives $500 and a trophy. The SuperChallenge winner will compete for the Governor's Cup against the winner of the WGBH Boston High School Quiz Show at the end of the season.

Watch the Challenge Saturdays at 6 p.m. on NHPTV PRIME.
